New person :P

[Razzy]

Hey all, I'm just new to these forums and I am looking to get my first bike soon (used to have some dirt bikes when I was younger).
I've been reading all about the laws from the post on this forum and would I be right in saying that if I got a cbr600 and got it restricted to 33bhp i could use it once i had past my test???
btw I'm 19 and not ridden a bike in years.

I'm posting this as my uncle crashed recently and had to get his foot chopped because of the accident...it wasn't a bad accident just a knock off his bike but he caught it on a fence

He is giving me his bike which is a cbr600 so just wondering if I cna do that then after my 2yrs I can derestrict it???

thanks folks

hi - welcome to the forum; hope you get what you want from it - we're a good bunch of chaps and chapesses.

I think you've got it nailed with the CBR6 questions . . .

Hello and welcome

Yep, sounds right....if you pass your test on a 125 you can ride a restricted one and after 2 years your licence will mature into a full one and you can get it derestricted again.

Well, that's what I've been led to believe!!

Hi Razzy,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes you can do the A2 test and once the CBR is restricted you can ride it for two years, after that, you can ride any bike you like.

The restriction is going to cost around £200 fitted, and it can only be fitted by a dealer, you can not do it yourself, you will have to sign some papers too and the dealer will give you a certificate.

Visit www.fiinternational.com for more info on bikes that can be restricted just in case you change your mind on the CBR.

I'm considering doing a restricted test when I'm ready too Razzy, although I have a lot to weigh up. My main concern is that restricting a bike damages it.

ok so if I get this right (cross your fingers all ) getting it restricted will NOT harm it? will it sound like a hair dryer though :S
or will it still have the deep roar

[Bendy]

It shouldn't do any harm and it'll sound basically the same cos it still revs to the same rpm, just makes less power.

Should still be pretty nippy at the bottom end, it's top end speed that suffers most.

[Razzy]

ok thank you all

[Razzy]

Thank you, got a little something I would like to know aswell......

When I get it restricted and if it has to be done by an officail dealer.......(very naughty bit now) say after a year of getting used to it and I want to feel the power could I get it derestricted..i know this would be illiegal but I am fairly confident that I will have the feeling back of riding by then

You can de restrict your self I did mine after 5 weeks with help from G and ste.
